Applications of Ultra Low Input RNA Sequencing in Cancer Research

Ultra-low input RNA sequencing enables to explore the gene expression profile with the ultra low amount of input RNA. In cancer research, this technique offers a powerful tool for analyzing the gene expression of a limited number of cells, such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs). CTCs are a group of cells that shed into the vasculature or lymphatics from a primary tumor and circulate via normal blood circulation. The detection and analysis of CTCs from patients’ blood samples are promising for early cancer diagnosis and the evaluation of cancer metastasis. However, it remains challenging due to the low amount of CTCs in the blood. Ultra-low input RNA sequencing provides an ultrasensitive platform for CTCs analysis, which enables to qualitatively and quantitatively explore gene expression from an exceptionally rare CTCs sample. Furthermore, this technique is also a reliable tool for the study of tumor microenvironment which is composed of surrounding blood vessels, immune cells, fibroblasts, signaling molecules and the extracellular matrix.
